Incagliati enjoy a fruitful relationship with The Cannons Scholars, directed by John Andrews, having performed Handel’s Messiah, Thomas Arne’s Judgement of Paris, and Mozart’s Requiem on consecutive years in St Paul’s, Covent Garden. They also sing at several services at St-Mary-le Strand throughout the year, including Lent, Pentecost, the patronal festival (in September), Remembrance Sunday, and the Christmas carol service. Later this year they plan an exchange with Coro Polifonico ‘Santo Spirito’ from Ferrara, Italy. |
Incagliati were founded by Catherine McKay and Ben Cox in November 2004. They rehearse in the church of St Mary-le-Strand – hence their name (‘The Stranded Ones’) – where, since March 2005, they have performed one concert per term. Their repertoire is diverse: previous concerts have featured music by Bach, Barnby, Britten, Bruckner, Charpentier, Fauré, Howells, Mendelssohn, Monteverdi, Parry, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, Schütz, Tippett, and Vaughan Williams. Incagliati also have a commit-ment to singing new works by contemporary composers, such as Ego flos campi (2003) by Elizabeth Croad, and Gareth Wilson’s Beatitudes (2005).
